A Dissolution.

The well-known Bismarck law firm of
Webster & Jamison has dissolved by mu-
tual consent; but both gentlemen will
continue the practice of their profession
in the Capital City. Mr.. Webster is we'll
and favorably known in Emmons, hav-
ing made several professional trips into
the county. He has been in active prac-
tice fer five years, and by diligence and
integrity has secured q large and con-
stantly increasing cllentage, and has been
entrusted with great many important
matters. He has given special attention
to United States land practice, and has
managed some of the most important land
cases that have gone before the land de-
partment from this district. It Is said
that in future Mr.. Webster's attention
will be given wholly to the practice Of
law and the management of United States
land cases. Mr. Webster's many friends
in Emmons County wish him every sue
cess in his profession.

Free from Pain at Last.

Miss Ella Brown died at Bismarck last
Tuesday. The funeral services took
place at the Presbyterian church, and all
that was mortal of the bright and loving
girl now rest in the Bismarck cemetery.
For many weeks there had been no hope
of her recovery, but the news that she
had passed away was received with pro-
found sorrow by her many friends in all
parts of the county. Miss Elias life and
character were indeed good and beautiful,
and she possessed that rare quality
of making friends Of every one she met.
Elsewhere in this paper lady who knew
her speaks feelingly of Mics Elias death.
To the relatives of the departed girl--to
her devoted and broken:hearted mother,
to her father in his grief, to the noble
young man who came from away down
in the Sunny Southland that he might re-
main near his betrothed SO lerg as there
was life in the poor little fragile body
to all we extend our heartfelt sympathy
for their lrreparab]e loss.

Local option.

At the Board meeting, Monday, the pc
titlens for vote Oh the question of county
prohibition were presented. but there
were only 121 names. 129 being the re.
quired number. District Attorney Arm
strong had not received al the lists at the
time of the meeting. and the absent
names will likely bring the total up to
$50. The board postponed action on the
matter until the October meeting The
members are showing the utmost fairness
in this matter. If there had been names
enough handed in, the vote would cer-
tainly have been ordered. AS it is, the fact
that the matter has been postponed for
a month, and will then come up, seems to
indicate that if one. third of the voters
want an election, and their names are
presented next month, they will get it.
We have heard no expression Of opinion
by the members of the board but we do
know that the rascally methods which
have been adopted iu some counties
where the required number of names have
been presented, and where an election has
been refused in direct violation of law
have never been countenanced BY the
commissioners of this county.
The RECORD believes that there isn't
the ghost of show for prohibition ip
Emmons County at, the present time;
whether it ever prevails here will, we be-
]ieve, depend largely on the success Of
the experiment in the more populous
counties which will adopt it this fall. AT
the same time, if legal minority of vo-
ters petition for ballot, we hope the
prayer will be granted, even if portion
of the names come in month late. The
county board is required by law to call an
election on division of the territory, and
it wouldn't need any additional outlay
to vote on county prohibition.

the young people who met her at VIM
chester one year ago. Tears dim eyes that,

"better than beautiful as we realize
that the bright life which promised 80
much usefulness is ended in this world.
As we remember her, we wonder at the
rare union of ability, tact and modesty
In one so young. Even then we thought
1t might be said Of her as of fair Scot
tish maiden, YOU'RE Der pure, said the
voice Of God, for dwelling out of

Not for the Joyous spirit which will
make heaven itself more glad do we
grieve, but for the friends whose lives
will be darkensd evertnore by Its absence.

day. Passing by farm near town they
espied watermelon patch at safe dis

sorely tempted--yea, they fell. Hum
dreds of melons were in sight-a few of
them large ones,. the balance smaller
in size. The ''highwaymen" contempt

it to town and proceeded to carveit. The

To the Editor of the RECORD:

WILL1AMsPonT, Dak., Sept. s, 1887.
I came to Dakota IN 1882, and located
in Emmons County in 1883. I came from
Southeastern Kansas. Twelve years ago
the price of land there was net as high as
1T is here to-day but now land in that
part of Kansas costs from $25 to $40 per
acre, and it is neither as rich and produc-
tive soil nor as near to market as that
here. I was not enthusiastic about Da-
kota when I came here, on account of
what people 'back east" had said regard
ing the winters; but l will say that l
haven't found them half as severe as l
expected. The atmosphere is so dry here
in winter that we do not feel the cold as
much as they do in a more seutherly lati-
tude, where they have rain and sleet and
alternate freezing and thawing, and this
dry, pure air makes this one of the most
healthful climates in the world. There is
plenty of first-class government land still
County; but the country is settling up
rapidly, and the free land won't hold out
many years. don't know of any other
place where man can geta home as easy
as he can here. We have no fencing to
do. A man can take claim, break some
land, and raise good half-crop on the
sod the first year. Grain of all kinds has
done we'll this season, and vegetables arc
an immense crop. We are not troubled
with destructive insects here, as the farm
ers are further south. I harvested wheat
this year that was sOwu on the Goth of
May, and it will thrash at least twenty
bushels to the acre. Oats that sowed
on the 1st of June will yield fifty bushels
per acre. We have good schools. can
count five schoolhouses in sight of my
place. Resp'f'y, J. L. BouTILL1ER.
